I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 80: Getting angry 2
When Chen Tongsheng heard the news, he rushed here non-stop. Now that he returns home and cooks a meal, he has to cook until very late.He was tired after a busy day today, so it would be nice to stay for dinner.

He happily replied, "I ate the food cooked by my godmother here that day, and I was always thinking about the taste. Since both my godmother and Chen Yu said so, then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful!"

Li Xiuju raised the corners of her mouth with a smile, "Okay, okay, I'll add more rice to cook."

Chen Tongsheng had been here for a while, but Baoyu was nowhere to be seen. He couldn't help but ask: "Hey, I've been here for so long, where is Baoyu? Why don't I see him?"

"There is someone in the city who is repairing a house and needs manpower. He went to the city to work with his peers in the village." Zhou Chenyu replied, paused for a while, and suddenly realized: "Hey, the house he went to His surname is Tang, and the squire holding the housewarming ceremony is also surnamed Tang?"

Chen Tongsheng was stunned for a moment and nodded sharply, "Yes! I didn't expect that Baoyu would be one step ahead of us. In this case, we might be able to meet each other."

Baoyu was stunned. He and Huzi went to work. Zhou Chenyu had been worried that he would be cheated. It would be great if they went to the same household.

She couldn't ask for more.

Originally, Shen Yu and Li Xiuju only made one dish and one soup for their meal this week. Now that Chen Tongsheng is here, and the pork guy is selling pork under the banyan tree at the entrance of the village, Li Xiuju quickly adds a meat dish to entertain the guests.

Chen Tongsheng is a man. He does a lot of heavy work and consumes a lot of money, so he has a big appetite. He is in urgent need of big fish and meat to quickly replenish his physical strength.

Li Xiuju specially bought fatter pork, put it in a pot with cold water, added onions, ginger, garlic, wine and other condiments, and brought it to boiling water until it could be pierced with chopsticks.

Then, take out the cooked pork, cut it into thick slices one finger wide, fry in hot oil over high heat, and sprinkle in a handful of washed green garlic sprouts to make a simple, rough but delicious home-cooked twice-cooked pork. .

Zhou Chenyu brought out the newly baked twice-cooked pork. Chen Tongsheng was playing with the dog outside the door and followed the smell, "It smells so good."

"Is it delicious? This is a dish specially prepared for you by our old lady." Zhou Chenyu also took a deep sniff, and Chen Tongsheng smiled innocently, "Then I will have a few more bites later."

When Li Xiuju heard this, she was afraid that she would cook too many dishes and keep Chen Tongsheng waiting, so she hurriedly replied in the kitchen: "Tongsheng, please wait, there are two more dishes, they will be ready soon."

Chen Tongsheng didn't want Li Xiuju to be too anxious, so he smiled and said back to her, "Godmother, delicious food is hard to come by. I'm not afraid of waiting. Take your time."

Zhou Chenyu looked him up and down with bright eyes, and said with a teasing smile: "Hey, I thought I was the only one who could coax people with my sharp tongue, but I didn't expect that your eloquence, Chen Tongsheng, is not bad either."

Chen Tongsheng felt ashamed, "No, no, no, in terms of eloquence, I can't compare to you."

Li Xiuju couldn't help but smile as she listened to the two children talking to each other, even while cooking.

As soon as the twice-cooked pork is out of the pot, it’s time to stir-fry the river clams.

River clams are eaten just like seafood because of their freshness.The river clam that had vomited mud and sand for a day was soaking in the cold water. The hard shell on both sides opened slightly, revealing the tender white clam flesh breathing in the water. The water was as clean as the well water.

As soon as Zhou Chenyu stretched out his hand to fish it out, the fresh river clam noticed something strange and immediately retracted into its shell. She fished the river clam into the basket, rinsed it twice with well water, and handed it to Li Xiuju.

Li Xiuju heated up the pot, put the lard into the pot and melted it into water, poured a whole basket of river clams in, and the hard shell of the river clams collided with the iron pot, making violent sounds.After frying for a while, the hard shells of river clams burst open one after another, and the delicious soup seeped into the clam meat. Add a few slices of ginger to remove the fishy smell, then sprinkle with a handful of chopped green onion for color, and a plate of stir-fried clam meat It’s done.

To stir-fry river clams, use the big ones, and the remaining small ones, stir-fry twice with hot oil, pour in a ladle of well water, wait until the water boils, and then add the cut loofah and cook Wait until the loofah is soft and the soup base turns light milky white.

Chen Tongsheng looked at the table of dishes and didn't know where to start, "It's all my fault that Godmother and Chen Yu have to cook so many dishes."

Li Xiuju scooped a bowl of river clam and loofah soup for him, with a scolding tone in her favored tone, "We are all one family, why are you saying these polite words? Don't say it again, just eat it while it's hot."

"Hey." Chen Tongsheng smiled, picked up the bowl, and drank a large bowl of soup, his expression still full of emotion, "Godmother, Chen Yu, this soup is very delicious, you should try it quickly."

The smile on Li Xiuju's face did not diminish at all, "Okay, okay, you all eat."

After the soup had cooled down a bit, Zhou Chenyu also picked up the bowl and drank. The fresh fragrance of the river clams and the sweetness of the loofah not only relieved the hunger for a long time, but also brought a little refreshment to relieve the heat. He only drank one bowl. It's never enough.

The stir-fried river clam meat did not add any heavy seasonings, retaining the original fragrance of the river clam. Although the meat could only fit between her teeth, the delicious taste attracted her to eat it willingly.

As for the twice-cooked pork, it smelled delicious, but it was too greasy, so Zhou Chenyu had no interest in it.

Chen Tongsheng finished dinner here, helped clean up, and then went back.

After Li Xiuju and Zhou Chenyu took a bath, they sat quietly in the yard and looked at the stars above their heads. The moonlight was very good tonight, and the sky was full of stars surrounding the bright moon. The light was so clear that it seemed like they could see the Milky Way.

Huangdou was lying in front of the door, his bright eyes staring outside, and he would bark excitedly at the slightest sign of trouble.

Baoyu didn't return for a day, and she didn't know what the situation was. Li Xiuju hugged the lame leg and murmured to herself: "I wonder how Baoyu is doing? He rarely leaves home for so long, and I don't know if he can survive." Treat yourself well, alas.”

Zhou Chenyu fanned a big cattail leaf fan, blowing a few strands of hair to his mouth, "Brother Chen and I will go to the Tang Mansion tomorrow to meet the chief steward. I'll see if I can meet Baoyu and inquire about it."

Li Xiuju nodded, "That's fine."

Tomorrow, Zhou Chenyu would get up early to follow Chen Tongsheng to the Tang Mansion to meet the housekeeper. The mother and daughter chatted for a few words about Baoyu and soon went back to their room to sleep.

Zhou Chenyu took off her outer shirt, put on cool pajamas and lay on the bed. The sounds of grasshoppers and crickets kept ringing in the cracks in the wall. She was thinking about what she was going to do tomorrow morning. It was really an unexpected surprise, " Am I just saying that there is no way out of mountains and rivers, and there is no way out of doubts, and there is only one village with hidden flowers and dark flowers? There is no perfect path for everyone!"

Tang Mansion?

It should be a powerful and wealthy family, right?

Zhou Chenyu blinked his bright eyes, touched the edge of his lips with two fingers intentionally or unintentionally, and muttered: "Since I can't hug Yang Xi's thigh, it seems to be a good choice to get to know more people from wealthy families. In case of a pair After paying a mountain of money, can they really be used?”
